all hail!

[rawsound]

All hail Lord Ganesha!

Remover of obstacles
Pot-bellied dancer
Opener of doors
Keeper of the Om

All hail Lord Ganesha!

Lover of sweet things
Reader and scribe
Kind-hearted one

All hail Lord Ganesha!
All hail the road opener!

He who is petitioned first,
    always
Elephant-headed one
God with the broken tusk

To you, we give thanks and praise
To you, we bring offerings of fruit and candy and
    a thousand sweet and pleasing things
Of you, we ask a smooth road and an open door
    and the power to enjoy the dance of life

All hail Sri Ganapati!
All hail Lord Ganesha!
